| Great first episode. Honestly surprised that I liked it so much. |
SweetCoconut said: totoroll said: Don't like people comparing it to Yona. Yona has more plot than romance while Akagami no Shirayuki has more romance than plot Yes! This. I find this a more light-hearted version of Yona and already rooting for the two main leads. Did you just agree with what totoroll just said and the immediately compare it to yona? then again, he also started comparing the two after expressing dislike of people doing that. Also, I dont know why people are comparing the two, the only thing they have in common is the MC has red hair and then cuts it. other than that its nothing alike. |

| Fantastic music and visuals. I really adore the colours. I've read the manga before so nothing was super surprising but I really liked it overall! Osaka Ryouta <3 <3 <3 |
| Shirayuki was the first manga that I read first before adapting into an anime. =D The first episode met, if not exceeded, my expectations. Beautiful art so far. |
 |
| I enjoyed it more than I thought I would :) But I don't get it, They basically got together in the first episode so now what? |
 |
| Aww yiss. Motha. Fuckin. Fantasy shoujo. A girl with red hair that escape by cutting her hair? That remind me of something... Anyway, it was a fun start. I did had an odd feeling though. I don't know, I felt it was a bit Disney-esque? I think it's the vilain who gave me that feeling. At the same time, he's probably not gonna be that much recurrent. |

| This was a nice introduction episode. Pretty, light animation. Raji talking to the 'magic mirror' was pretty great. Felt somewhat disney. |
| It went with the manga pretty well but I think there are some parts that were different a little bit, the animation is great loved it. So far I'm looking forward to the next episode ^_^ |
| Wow that was really good. Aesthetics/atmosphere might be best of the season so far, which against Non Non, is impressive. Well done so far Bones. Reminds me more of Mahoutsukai no Yome than Yona with the tone and artstyle. mayukachan said: Osaka Ryouta <3 <3 <3 This. I am unashamed. |

| The shop scene wasn't in the manga (as far as I can remember at least, the scene with the old woman). But that isn't important anyway. Zen's entrance is wonderful (as expected, haha). It feels so good watching the interactions, especially Zen's, Mitsuhide's, and Kiki's close friendship. Shirayuki's strong character is admirable, too! This series started out great! :D Also, I love the relaxing music. The art was okay, though I expected more (since Akizuki Sorata-sensei's work is really beautiful). The voices where okay in my opinion; they fit the roles well. I'm looking forward to see more of the characters, esp. Obi and Ryuu; and that cameo of Garack in the OP...tho she's supposed to be more beautiful. Not to mention, "that good-looking guy" in the OP. x3 The OP is great, too (though I may be biased because I love Saori Hayami's voice so much <3). P.S. I love that "I object" from Zen. Hahaha xD [My score: 5/5] |
| YAS. |

| Very fairy tale like atmosphere (though the english name is Snow White with the Red Hair so makes sense). This show seems full of potential,I just hope it doesn't waste it's potential like Akatsuki no Yona where it became a show about a girl building up a male harem (I know there was more to Yona then that but basically what it felt like). |

This show seems very promising so far and full of potential,I just hope it doesn't waste it's potential like Akatsuki no Yona where it became a show about a girl building up male harem (I know there was more to Yona then that but basically what it felt like). I don't blame you for that. Because the manga was pretty okay up to the point it got animated. The later chapters are way more than another shoujo manga. And I said this before and I will say this no matter how many times I have to "AkaYona is a false-reverse harem." There is only one man who sees her as a love interest. As for Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, *minor spoiler, won't hurt your experience if you click* |

| That was beautiful & mesmerizing. This anime definitely has a really high budget judging by that visually well done first episode, & the soundtrack was really good too. But I must say the pacing felt a tad too fast & it did not grab me that much. |
| I like anime. |
| Liking the smooth animation and the plot seems to be interesting. I just hope it doesn't waste its potential. |
| Yes now i have something new to wait anxiously for each week aside from Rokka. |

| As much as people compare Shirayuki with Yona, I think they're both very different characters. Yona was a spoiled princess who didn't even know how to dress herself, while Shirayuki studied in order to become a herbalist. When faced with a complicated situation, Yona started as pretty weak and incapable of making decisions for herself, while Shirayuki kept a cool head, put her stuff together and was smart about it. Don't get me wrong, Yona grows to be a very strong girl, but it seems Shirayuki has the advantage here. I really liked the simple but elegant designs and animation. The OST is really nice to. I liked it over all and I'm gonna be following this one ^^ The only thing that bothers me is how random it was when Zen walked in on that room claiming he had been training in order to develop poison immunity, like what the hell dude. |
.....    |
| So this is how it feels to see one of your favourite mangas animated. AHHHHH. I'm a little sad that Bones did not capture the essence of Akizuka-sensei's art. That said, the animation is fluid and vivid with bright colours. So excited to see my girl Shirayuki in action. Great start to the series. Also, to those who have yet to read the manga, go check it out! Edit: I see a lot of Akatsuki no Yona comparisons. I am a huge fan of both series and aside from the red hair female MCs, there isn't much similarities. If I were to describe Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, it's more of a slice-of-life but set in the historical era if you will. There aren't any super powers that you see unlike in Akatsuki no Yona with the four dragons. |

IsGalis said: The only thing that bothers me is how random it was when Zen walked in on that room claiming he had been training in order to develop poison immunity, like what the hell dude. Indeed. It's kind of too convenient. NinaQ said: It does appear random at first but Zen's health issues and immunity are discussed in the later chapters of the manga. Health issues? Is that a spoiler? |
| I like anime. |
| My only worry is that they can fall into the usual triangle with the other MC, but reading what are people saying in this thread it seems there's no need to worry too much? Great visuals and nice characters. And Hayami Saori deserves every role needed, so I'm very glad of the choice. We don't know anything yet about the cours right? |

Akanezora said: We don't know anything yet about the cours right? 12-13 episodes this cour. 12-13 episodes in another cour. So expect 24-26 episodes in total. |

| I like anime. |
| I find it interesting that no one questioned whether the Second Prince of Clarines holds more power than the Crown Prince of Tanburn. That was one of the few things that peaked my interest in the manga. I will leave it for you guys to ponder. Also, let's not discuss the anime beyond what has been presented without spoiler tags. Including other anime that you think is similar. We can get excited but if you think about it, it's unfair for those who watch anime only. |

But I must say the pacing felt a tad too fast & it did not grab me that much. I think it mainly just has a director and composer that actually know what they are doing. A lot of the time it really just comes down to that. |
| I've been waiting for this, such a good first episode. The adaption is really solid and the animation style is just wonderful. Kiki is love. As it seems this will be one of those adaptions that will be heavily spoiled in the threads....beware non manga readers. |
| This is really great so far. I love the animation and the visuals, and I also really like Shirayuki. They've done a great job with characterizing her (I love that it's mostly showing and not telling) by way of namely two events. 1) when she left the shop, she made cures/things to help all those people, which shows her caring and selfless side and 2) when she hurt herself to prove that her antidote wasn't poisonous. There are other moments as well, but those two stuck out the most to me. I also really like that Zen isn't an asshole, but he's not Super Nice Guy either. If it keeps up this quality I know I'm going to love it. |
| Great first episode, fantastic production values. Good characters, Shoujo fantasy like Akatsuki no Yona. |
 |
| AOTS is right here. |
| Nice episode and Shirayuki is like the upgraded version of Yona at the moment. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Best first episode so far. Amazing animation, OST, art style ect. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
 Summer is saved! Can't wait for Obi :) |
| awsome! |

| Now that was the best summer premiere. The visuals, the animations, the colorful backgrounds, even something as simple as close shot of characters' faces with hair fluttering are so beautifully animated. And yes, Shirayuki, arguably one of the best shoujo heroines, in this episode alone managed to show how she deserves that title. I especially like how pretty quiet and restrained the whole thing was. The chemistry between Shirayuki and Zen was portrayed with such beautiful dexterity; without constant arguing, bickering, and some loud crap that shoujo really loves to do to develop the lead characters. Finally, the BGM sounds so lovely and i liked it. Bones, once again, doesn't disappoint. |
I didn't expect it to be that good. That chemistry between Shiroyuki and Zen... wow.  |
| the ED dancing reminded me of beauty and the beast or something x) seems like a good start ^^ |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| red hair/5 enjoy every bit of it. |
 |
| It has been years since I last read Akagami. I should re-read and update myself, seeing it animated made me go back to my shoujo fangirl days lol. Can't wait for Obi, he was my favorite iirc. |
| This seems very promising, gonna keep watching it! 5/5! |
